Description
The present invention relates to an alignment apparatus for assembling array waveguide grating modules, and more particularly, to an alignment apparatus for array waveguide grating assembly that seats and supplies components to automatically assemble an array waveguide grating module and supplies the array waveguide grating modules.
In general, an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) is commonly used as an optical multiplexer / demultiplexer in a WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexed) system. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system is one of the optical transmission systems that bundles several channels with different wavelengths of light and transmits them through one optical fiber. In other words, it is a technology to load various kinds of data from other places together on one optical fiber, and it is an optical transmission system that improves communication capacity and speed.
The above-described wavelength division multiplexing system is based on the fundamental law of optics that optical waves of different wavelengths interfere linearly with each other. That is, if each channel in the optical communication network uses slightly different wavelengths of light, the light of multiple such channels can be carried by one optical fiber, and the crosstalk between the channels is negligible . The AWG is used to multiplex channels of various wavelengths at the optical transmission end into one optical fiber, and is also used as a demultiplexer for collecting individual channels of different wavelengths at the receiving end of the optical transmission network.
In the AWG, the light entering through one optical fiber traverses free space and enters a bundle of optical fibers or channel waveguides. Since the optical fibers have different wavelengths, they change from the exit of the optical fibers to different phases. The light then traverses another free space and interferes with each other at the entrance of the output waveguide so that each output channel receives only light of a certain wavelength. The flow of light described above operates as a splitter, and the flow of opposite light operates as a splitter.
In such an AWG module, an input fiber array having one strand and an output optical fiber array having a plurality of strands are aligned on both ends of the AWG chip, and optical characteristics are inspected and then bonded.
However, the assembling and inspecting of the AWG module according to the prior art are all developed as independent devices, and the worker has to manually inspect and assemble manually, which results in extremely low productivity.
